Summer on a River is a 1643 unspecified by Jan van Goyen, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
The painting depicts a serene river scene, with a few boats and people along the shore. The sky is cloudy, and the atmosphere is calm. In the foreground, a group of people are gathered near a boat, while another boat sails in the distance. The riverbank is lined with trees and buildings, adding depth to the scene.
